EYE FOR GARMENT-HOOKS.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK A. VON BoYNnnUnoK, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Eyes for Garment-Hooks, of whichthe following is a specification.

One object of my invention is to provide a commercially practical form of invisible eye having its parts so arranged as to provide two thread holding loops at each end; it being particularly desired that the wire of the eye shall be so bent at each end as to effectually hold the parts from distortion even when they are subjected to the most severe st -ains occurring under conditions of use.

I further desire to provide an invisible eye having a pair of loops at each end formed by a relatively uncomplicated disposition of the wire and including a novel arrangement whereby the various parts are firmly held or locked in their respective positions, in order to form loops from which the holding threads, whereby the eye is held to a garment, shall not be able to escape.

These objects and other advantageous ends I secure as hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan of an eye for a garment hook embodying certain features of my invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the eye shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line aa Fig. 1, and Fig. 1 is a plan of a slightly modified form of eye.

In the above drawings, 1 represents the cross bar of the eye and this is so formed at each end as to provide a pair of independent,

laterally extended thread holding loops 2 and For this purpose each end portion of the wire of which the eye is made is slightly displaced from the center line of the straight cross bar 1 as indicated at 4, and is thereafter bent back to form a loop, being passed over the cross bar 1 and bent forwardly and back to form a second loop; the end 5 terminating immediately adjacent andpreferably in engagement with the bent out portion 41, in the immediate vicinity of the part 6 which crosses over the end of the bar 1. With the preferred construction above described the two thread loops are disposed in a substantially similar manner on opposite sides of the center line of the cross bar.

For the purpose of reinforcing the thread Specification of Letters Patent.

loop structure and preventing further distortion thereof, the part of the wire which crosses over each end of the bar 1 is abruptly bent down as shown in Fig. 3, so as to tightly grip opposite sides of said end portion. As shown in Fig. 2, the main part of the cross bar is offset or raised above the general plane of the two pairs of loops 2 and 3 in order that it may be properly engaged by the bill of a garment hook.

If desired, each end portion 5 of the wire may be extended under the part thereof which passes over the end of the cross bar 1 and may thereafter be bent back or returned on top of said portion as indicated at 7 in Fig. 1. This cross over portion 6 is thereafter abruptly bent downwardly on the outer sides of the parts 1 and 5 so as to tightly grip and lock them together, as well as to prevent any possible escape from the two loops 2 and 3 of the holding threads used to hold the eye in place on a garment.

It will be noted that in any case I preferably so construct the eye that the two ends of the wire of which it is made, terminate on the same side of the cross bar 1, whose center line extends midway between the two parts 1 and 5 of each of the pairs of thread loops 2 and 3.

It will, of course, be understood that the form or shape given to the thread loops, as well as the material and form of cross section of the wire used, may be widely varied without departing from my invention.

I claim 1. An eye for garment hooks consisting of a wire forming a cross bar having each of its end portions bent back and across its main portion to form a thread loop and thereafter bent forwardly and then back to form a second thread loop, said wire being bent up, over and down at its point of crossing the main portion to tightly grip the same.

2. An eye for garment hooks consisting of a wire forming a cross bar having each of its end portions bent back and across its main portion to form a thread loop and thereafter bent forwardly and then back to form a second thread loop, said wire being bent adjacent its points of crossing the main portion to tightly grip said portion and also the extremity of the wire.

3. An eye for garment hooks consisting of a wire forming a cross bar having each of its end portions bent back and then passed over its main portion to form a thread-100p, and thereafter bent backwardly and then forward to form a second threaded loop, the extremity of each of said end portions being passed under the Wire Where it crosses the main portion and being thereafter bent forwardly over the same.

t. An eye for garment hooks consisting of a wire forming a cross bar having each of its ends bent back and then crossed over its main portion to form a thread loop, thereafter being bent backwardly and then forward to form a second thread loop; the extreinity of each of said portions being passed under said cross over portion and being thereafter bent forwardly over the same, said cross over portion being also bent to grip the extremity of the Wire and the ad jacent end of the main portion thereof.

I11 testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
